COMBINED LAMP BRACKET AND SPOOL HOLDER.

Application fiflerl January 7, 1924. SeriaI No. 684,901.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, MAX K. GOLDEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented acertain new and useful Imarovenient in Combined Lamp Brackets and hpoolHolders, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, which form a. part of this specification.

My invention relates to a combined spool holder and adjustable lightingbracket for sewing machines or the like.

The object of this invention is to provide a spool holder and lightsupporting bracket for work tables,-preferably sewing machines forfactory or other installations,- the object being to provide aconvenient device adapted to be readily regulated by the operatorwhereby the light may be adjusted directly over the work,theconstruction being such that the lamp fixture and spool supportingbracket will not be in the way of the fabric or other material used thatthe operator may be free to feed or deliver it to the machine withoutinterference.

A further object of the invention is to provide for the longitudinaladjustment of the lamp supporting arm and for swinging it upon itspivot.

A further object of the invention is to provide for supporting aplurality of spools of thread upon the lamp bracket and above the workresting upon the table top.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds the invention further resides in the combinationand arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed it being understood that changes may be made inthe precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed withoutdeparting from the spirit of the same.

In the drawings accompanying this specification:

Figure l is a plan view of the device showing a pair of spools supportedon a platform adjustably attached to the upright portion of the bracket.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the device with parts broken away and insection to more clearly disclose the telescopic connection between thelamp arm and the supporting bracket.

Figure 3 is an end elevation of the device attached to a fragmentaryportion of a work table or sewing machine top.

Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings:

A, denotes a fragment of a work table or sewing machine top, to theunderside of which is screwed a boss-plate B, preferably tapped toreceive the threaded end of a tubular arm D. Sleeved within the bracketarm that it may telescope therewith is a tubular extension E,to the endof which is secured a lighting fixture F, fitted with a suitablereflector G.

H, indicates a lamp cord housed within the tubular bracket and itsextension to con nect the lighting fixture with a source of electricalsupply,not shown.

I, represents an adjustable platform having a hub portion I sleeved uponthe upright portion of the bracket D.

K, indicates a set screw extending through the hub to engage thebracket,-by adjusting which the platform may be secured at any desiredaltitude upon the bracket.

L, L, denote spools of thread supported upon the platform,the end ofeach spool or core extending into sockets I", formed in the platform toreceive the same.

M designates a thread-guide or standard provided with loops Mfl'Mthrough which the thread is adapted to pass to the sewing machineneedle.

Having now indicated the several parts by reference letters theconstruction and operation of the device will be readily understood.

The bracket D, may be swung in either direction in its supporting bossso as to bring the lamp fixture directly above the work, the telescopingportions of the arm and bracket providing a longitudinal as well asoscillatory adjustment of the arm to direct the light as may berequired.

While preferring to depend upon a frictional cooperation between thetelescoping parts to hold them in their adjusted relation a set screw orother device may be employed if desired to secure the lamp arm whenadjusted.

The platform I, may also be adjusted vertically or axially as requiredand when properly adjusted the device may be secured to the standard bymeans of the set screw K.

Having thus described my invention what I claim'is:

In a device of the character described; a vertical tubular brackethaving a lateral angularly directed extension adapted to receive atelescoping tubular arm; a boss plate adapted to be secured to a tableor other sup port to receive the end of the bracket axially adjustabletherein; an adjustable platform supported upon the bracket having meansto receive and support a spool of thread; a standard provided with loopsto receive and guide the thread delivered from the spool; a telescopingtubular arm sleeved within the lateral extension of the bracket fittedat its outer end with a lamp fixture ineluding a reflector, saidtelescopingtubular arm being longitudinally and axially adjustable inthe bracket, whereby it may direct the rays from the lamp fixture uponthe thread as it may be sewn.

In testimony whereof, I sign this specifica- 25 tion in the presence oftwo witnesses.
